Pluto is a dwarf planet. It could be an asteroid, or it could be a moon that escaped the orbit of Neptune. It could Not be a comet.

Asteroid: A relatively small, inactive body, composed of rock, carbon or metal, which is orbiting the Sun. Comet: A relatively small, sometimes active object, which is composed of dirt and ices. Comets are characterized by dust and gas tails when in proximity to the Sun. Far from the Sun it is difficult to distinguish an asteroid from a comet. Meteoroid: A small particle from an asteroid or comet orbiting the Sun. Meteor: A meteoroid that is observed as it burns up in the Earth's atmosphere - a shooting star.
